The Dark Side of Europe: The Extreme Right Today

Now in its second edition, this text charts the growth of fascism through the decades following the end of World War II, to its present day resurgence in the new Europe. It paints a sombre picture of a Europe threatened by racist politics and terrorism, and struggling to come to terms with the problems of living in a multiracial society. Concentrating on the themes of racism, the rewriting of history, the rise of the New Right, terrorism and secret service corruption, it looks in detail at the Le Pen phenomenon in France, recent events in Germany and Bosnia and extreme Right terrorism in Italy.
